FRANCIS R. WOLFINGER, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

IMPROVEMENT lN TICKET-CASES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. [87,793, dated February 27, 1877; application filed February 1, 1877.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FRANCIS R. WOLFIN- GER, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ticket-(Jase; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in ticket-cases; and it consists in the arrangement of the rods, and the peculiar construction of the hooks on which the tickets are hung, as will be more fully described hereinafter.

The accompanying drawings, represent my invention. 7 a

a represents a suitable case, of any desired shape, form, or construction that may be preferred, and which is made to recede slightly backward from the point 0 to the top. Inside of this-case are secured any suitable number of rods, d, which also incline backward at any required angle from their base to their tops,

but at a greater angle than the side edges of the frame. Reaching horizontally across from one rod to another are the hooks e, which are made from a piece of wire that has its ends so bent as to be forced into two of the rods, and bent up or doubled at its center sufiiciently far to form a prong long enough to pass through any desired number of tickets.

By means of this construction the hooks can be made much more cheaply than those generally used, and they can be moved nearer to or farther from each other, without having to take out either screws or rivets, by having either a series of holes for the ends to stick into made in the rods, or by making them with an awl, as they are needed.

By inclining the rods backward, and placing them upright, they serve to keep the tick- FRANCIS R. WOLFINGER. [1,. s] Witnesses:
